default values (except the password settings).  Then, the Setup Utility must be run once 
again for you to input the appropriate operating environment settings.  
(The processing speed depends on the application software used, so this operation may
 not cause the processing speed to increase.)

the display.
You can set the date and time using the following menu:
Windows XP
[start] - [Control Panel] - [Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options] - [Date and
Time]
If you continue to experience problems, the internal battery maintaining the clock may
need to be replaced.  Contact your technical support office.

  This computer will not correctly recognize the date and time starting from the year 2100
A.D.
Even when a password has been set in the Setup Utility, [Enter Password] does not
appear when the computer resumes from the standby or hibernation mode.
If you want to use the security function when using the standby or hibernation mode, use
the Windows password as follows:
   Windows XP
Select the account to change in [start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts] and set the
password, then add the check mark for [Prompt for password when computer resumes
from standby] in [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options] -
[Advanced].
This means a floppy disk that does not contain system startup information has been left in
the floppy disk drive.  Remove the floppy disk, and press any key.
This message may appear when certain USB devices are connected.  Remove the USB
device, or set [Legacy USB Support] in [Advanced] menu of the Setup Utility to [Dis-
able].
If the message still appears even after trying the above two measures, this may be an
indication that some type of hard disk failure has occurred.  Contact your technical sup-
port office.
When a problem occurs, refer to this page.  The “Reference Manual” also contains detailed information.  If a problem appears to be
related to a software application, read the software related manual.  If you still cannot troubleshoot the problem, contact your
technical support office. You can use the PC Information Viewer to check the computer’s usage status.

High-precision and advanced technologies are necessary in the production of color liquid
crystal displays (color LCDs).  Therefore, if 0.002% or less of the picture elements either
fail to light or remain constantly lit (that is, more than 99.998% of elements are function-
ing properly), no defect is considered to exist.
Changing the number of colors or resolution of the display may affect the screen. Restart
the computer.

computer, the display may not function correctly when the computer enters the power
saving mode.  In such cases, turn off the power to the external display.
